The Gallatin School of Individualized Study, a small,

plan for learning. They pursue their individual interests from a
personal perspective by taking courses in the various schools of

independent studies and participating in experiential learning
through internships at New York City's countless institutions,
businesses and arts organizations.

I have issues with the way Dumbarton Oaks fellowships are
distributed. For the last 1, 5 I have conducted an independant
research regarding this issue and have discovered that for many
years these fellowships are distributed to American scholars
predominatly. Even though they are advertised as highly competative
fellowships offered to students all over the world, this
advertising is misleading. People who have been given fellowships
are almost 90% from American Universities. Also, there are
instances when these fellowships are given to people from same
universities (few years in a row), to students supervised by a same
person. Most of these applicants are not widely published autors,
some of them only have 1-2 publications. Knowledge of la…

I have started a blog on Google Blogger with a searchable,
categorized list of graduate fellowships, postdocs, research
associateships, and VAPs for academics working in the areas of
gender and/or sexuality studies. Please see

Affairs Administrator at the Center for the Study of Gender and
Sexuality at the University of Chicago.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be conducting an experiment on
this wiki to evaluate a new way of serving advertisements. During
this time, text link ads from Google will appear on article pages
in additional areas. These ads are meant to be highly targeted and
relevant to the content on the page, and we're testing to see if
they're better than our current system.

As usual, these ads will NOT display to registered users. Your
regular contributors can avoid all ads just by staying logged in.
Note that this is also tempoary: we will turn these experimental
ads off as soon as we collect enough data to assess their
effectiveness (we estimate a total of 2-4 weeks).

I am supportive, he works hard and just got his Ph.D. this
semester from a top ten school. It took ten years and this is
year three on the job market and according to his committee he has
a strong dissertation. What does that all mean though if he
doesn't even get one MLA interview this year? What the heck
do you do if you spent 10 years pursuing something that may not
support your family? We don't talk about it at home anymore
but the air is thick and I sometimes don't want to go home
anymore. Any words of wisdom and encouragement
appreciated.
